A financial adviser drags his family from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks, where he must launder $500 million in five years to appease a drug boss.

I have been holding my breath in fear of what will happen... next. I think that all of the actors are outstanding.

It's an awesome series, one of my favorites. I watched the whole season after catching up by sort of skimming through the first 3 (on Netflix). Took all weekend (last weekend) but I only watched it at night, since I couldn't sleep anyway.

SO good!
 

I haven't watched it yet at all. But now that you've told me a little bit about it, I might.
It's hard for me to stay tuned for that long.

I've only been able to stayed glued to Virgin River and Emily in Paris. And Frankie and Johnnie ?
The one w/Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.
 
I love it. It's often compared to Breaking Bad due to similar plots (good people forced to do bad things, having a taste of power that later corrupts them) but not as good and has a slightly different tone. There are two characters whom I absolutely can't stand but have just been dealt with in a deserving manner in the current season (thank God). Too bad it's split into two parts.

I have heard that too, but don't feel it. I loved Breaking Bad, one of the best TV shows of all time.

I don't either. I was surprised when I first heard people comparing the two. Almost everything is done differently between the two. Hell, even some episodes have completely different tones from one another in Breaking Bad. It definitely has more meat and took me around three seasons to really get into it as there were so many characters and things that needed time to set up but the payoff was well worth it. Even mundane things were presented in interesting ways.
Ozark has less subplots and faster pacing. Some conflicts feel "manufactured" to keep the story tense and then get quickly resolved. I think Ozark's intriguing but sometimes unoriginal story is more focused with a lot less filler but Breaking Bad's many fillers that can seem like they're firing on all directions immensely add to the overall story and characters. With 62 episodes, it ended exactly when it needed to without feeling like it dragged on.

I've watched Ozark from when it first aired and I was excited to see it back on. I got very confused on the first episode this year. The car accident confused me. The kids were in the car but nothing made the accident and what happened to the kids.

I was hoping to see the outcome of that by the end of first half but it's one of those "showing something big that happens later on in the beginning to get you excited" kind of things.

Grace & Frankie? I love that too. Lily Tomlin is hilarious.
